Using the Peripheral Pin Select feature on a PIC24

Say that 5 times fast!

Part 6 of Modtronics Australia’s PIC24 tutorial series, Modtronics shows you how to use the Peripheral Pin Select feature on a PIC24 microcontroller. This feature allows you to remap which pins are tied to which peripheral such as uart, I2c, SPI, etc. Very useful feature when it comes to laying out a board, allowing you to lay things out because of convenience rather than necessity. This could also lead to reusing of a certain pinout adapter across multiple configurations since it can be selected via software.
